FAQs
This verse states that once the devas had nearly finished drinking the nectar, Lord Hari—seen by the demon leaders—resumed His own original form, showing His complete control over His manifestations.
After ensuring the nectar’s purpose—protecting the devas and dharma—was accomplished, the Lord ended the Mohinī pastime and openly resumed His form, demonstrating that the asuras had been outwitted by divine arrangement.
The verse highlights trust in divine protection: even when situations appear uncertain, the Supreme can arrange outcomes that uphold righteousness, and His “strategy” ultimately serves the welfare of the world.
